Alrighty, I got a question for ya'll.

 

So, I'me sitting here watching XXX: State of the Union and i decide to give my girlfriend a little tickle. And I was wondering, if tickling stimulates pain nerves (at least I think) then why do we laugh when we are being tickled? It's not too enjoyable.

 

Thanks.

I believe that the reaction to tickling depends on how heavy the tickle is and the relationship of the one that tickles to the person being tickled.
